Daily Mail: China puts CAGES around Covid-stricken: Shanghai officials block off residential buildings with infected dwellers inside under strict lockdown of city's 25M people 

* Shanghai erected metal barriers in multiple districts to block off streets 

* In the city's financial district, Pudong, the barriers - thin metal sheets or mesh fences - were put up in several neighbourhoods under an official directive 

* China reported 21,796 new community transmitted COVID-19 infections Sunday 

* The latest outbreak, driven by the highly contagious omicron variant, has spread nationwide, but has been particularly large in Shanghai 

Shanghai authorities have put up fences outside residential buildings as China hardens its strict 'zero-COVID' policy, sparking fresh public outcry over a lockdown that has forced much of the city's 25 million people indoors. 

The largest district in Beijing, meanwhile, will require everyone living or working in the area to take three COVID tests this week, and put more than a dozen buildings under lockdown, after the Chinese capital reported 22 new cases for Saturday. The district, Chaoyang, is home to 3.45 million people.
